Spurs: For the outside world, True or False: Tim Duncan will one day...

[Blake]

.......come off the bench as part of the usual bench rotation.

[AussieFanKurt]

True..?

[ElNono]

false

I can see where Pop might ease him in from the bench when coming back from injury, but it would be a one or two game thing...

EDIT: Not counting the ASG either...

[baseline bum]

false

Not like the Spurs have any young bigmen ready to blow up and take his spot

[lefty]

This thread looks familiar

[Splits]

TD will tell Pop to retire and then revive the Bill Russell player-coach era and win another 2 chips, just like Morgan Freem... errr, Bill Russell.

[irishock]

False. Guy plays with barely any atheleticism and quickness today and is still effective with his skill set. He'll still be a 28 mpg guy until he retires

[Latarian Milton]

will stay in the starting lineups till the day he retires imho. he's gonna need more rest since he's approaching the 40 mark and you should be prepared to see him missing more matches, but he'll always be the alpha mayne when he plays on the court tbh

[Mal]

False. He is a cornerstone of this team and franchise. He migth be contributing less, but he`s presence is necessary.

[spurraider21]

false. he's got 1, maybe 2 more years in him. still starting caliber, no doubt. heck, should be starting in the all star game. its not that he needs to retire because of ineffectiveness, but its the energy and simply father time. if he cant 100% have the desire, hunger, and commit to the year long work, he'll hang em up.
